Thinking about this conversation from Discord

[snowtree]

the autism mood of never knowing when its “your turn” in a convo so you say the first word of your sentence about 5 times before you actually get to speak

[snowtree]

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

You ever get honked at and you’re not even sure if it was at you, but you spend the next 5 hours trying to figure out what you did wrong even though you don’t think you did anything or are you normal

companies really have got to be okay with stagnant profits. what is wrong with earning the same amount every year? why does it always have to be more? it's not sustainable. there are only so many people on the planet you can profit from 😭

"there are observable biological differences between men and women that unfairly advantage men in a world designed by and for men" DOES NOT MEAN "women are inferior to men" or "women aren't good enough to keep up with men"

It means we have to account for those differences in the name of equity and equality - which doesn't mean women need ~special treatment~ or kid gloves, it means we have to remove barriers to equal opportunity.

[snowtree]

like 99% of "men and women are soooo different!!!" comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it's not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain

As sketchy as the oceangate submarine was... you can bet your ass every single one of musky's endeavors would look just as sketchy if it wasn't for the fact that he's forced to work with government regulators.

Hell, most of his projects are this sketchy if you look a bit closer. For example: the tesla tunnels.

No fire suppression system, no emergency exits, no emergency lighting, no way for EMS to get through, no fucking nothing. I am pretty sure it's not even big enough to open the car's doors.

Or the Cybertruck that's a deathtrap for both the people on the outside and the people on the inside because it utterly disregards the last 50 or so years of advancements in car safety technology such as crumple zones or safety glass

Or the tesla model 3 where you can't even open the back doors without power. So if you're in an accident and lose power... good luck getting your kids out of the back, especially when the huge battery is turning into a huge, unextinguishable flamethrower.

Or the fucking starship launchpad that was utterly destroyed by the rocket and threw huge concrete chunks and other debris around for miles... which, incidentally, also destroyed the rocket.

That's what all these self-proclaimed Silicon Valley tech bro geniuses are like.

They all think they know better than everyone else, and that rules or consequences don't apply to them, and they see safety as little more than an afterthought.

It's why Ai and social media algorithms are used sooooo ethically. It's why amazon and facebook try to find out everything about you and happily sell that data with no disregard for what it could be used for.

It's about damn time one of these CEO dipshits got killed by their own dipshitery, I just wish it had been musk or bezos instead...

Once again, in conclusion:

barbie movie's lukewarm feminist messaging was cute and the bit where she was so happy to go the gynaecologist made me laugh but the way conservatives are talking about it you'd think margot robbie started reciting the S.C.U.M. manifesto on screen

I doodle in almost any meeting I’m in. Most of the lawyers I know do. No one cares. Idk why grade school teachers cared so much. Actually there were a lot of BS rules that either made kids care too much about dumb rules, or not care at all.
